However, whatever the source of such campaigns or their motivations, you should try to prepare yourself for when one of these campaigns hits your network. While there are security training courses you can take, you can also practice by analyzing even benign activity in your network. Practicing on analyzing such activity can give you the knowledge and skills to detect and analyze the activity of real threats.

I encourage everyone to start searching for and analyzing these (hopefully benign) Command & Control systems in your network. I guarantee you, you have plenty of them operating in your network. Practicing on these will prepare you for the malicious ones.
